Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the implications for those exercising their right to vote under a government wielding the power to wage war. The author argues that the war power runs counter to Christian principles, as it licenses murder and theft by the state and sanctions any injury short of murder. By voting, the author contends, individuals sanction this power and become principals in every act of violence perpetrated by their government. The book examines the roles of Congressmen and the President in carrying out this power, arguing that despite their oaths to preserve the Constitution, they are compelled to make war in certain instances. The author also discusses the responsibility of voters in electing officials who will exercise this power, and the moral quandary faced by individuals who value peace and conflict resolution but may feel compelled to vote to maintain the nation's self-defense. The book's insights offer a provocative exploration of the tensions between individual conscience, democratic participation, and the inherent violence of warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
